Frequently Asked Questions

Alkanatur Ionized Alkaline water helps to balance body pH (our body pH tends to acidify: diet, stress, etc.), guaranteeing a pH between 8.5 and 9.5 anywhere in the country. It also has a great antioxidant and oxygenating capacity .

Alkaline water mainly contributes:

Alkalinity: Provides balance to body pH, fighting mild metabolic acidosis .

Antioxidants: They are molecules capable of delaying or preventing the oxidation of other molecules . (oxidation is a chemical reaction of transferring electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals that start chain reactions that damage cells.)

No, we have to differentiate between bottled and those processed by devices (jugs, electrolysis …). Within the bottled ones there are natural ones such as monchique (rich in sodium, alkalizing mineral) or man-made (fit water pH9) where these types of waters have in common that their antioxidant capacity (ORP) is very weak due to their volatility. In addition to the plastics where they are bottled they can contain endocrine disruptors.

No, Alkanatur Ionized Alkaline water does not lose properties when boiled or cooled. However, once filtered, it is recommended to drink the water within 24 hours.

Yes, Any Type Of Water Can Be Alkalized And Ionized. The Advantage With Some Equipment That Already Purifies Water (Reverse Osmosis, Mineral, Distilled…) Is That Our Filters Last Longer.

Yes. It is a perfect combination. The proportions would be 20% seawater and 80% alkanatur water. Alkanatur alkaline water infusions are recommended to purify and cleanse kidneys (with stone breakers) and liver, with (dandelion, artichoke and milk thistle). It can also be taken with other types of infusions.

Before buying, ask for a certificate issued by a serious institution on the chlorides and sodium emitted by the jug.

We advise that the filters do not last longer than 6 months due to the high risk of bacterial and microbiological contamination. In some models silver is included in the charcoal to try to alleviate this problem. This material has been limited by the fda and other international agencies for potential health hazards.

Always ask for a satisfaction guarantee of at least 30 days.

This type of jug, due to its ion exchange resin, usually introduces chlorides and sodium into the water. Generally, they are usually acidic waters, with hardly any antioxidant capacity and with a very poor oxygen supply.

They are totally discouraged for hygiene reasons. The maximum duration of an activated carbon filter must be 6 months.

The Alkanatur Jug ​​is made entirely in Spain.

Its use is very varied:

In addition to its main function as direct intake, alkanatur alkaline water can be used in the following cases:

• To remove agro-toxins from fruit and vegetables. It is advisable to soak these products for 5 minutes.
  
• To cook : vegetables have a more intense color and food in general gains a better flavor.
• For infusions and coffee .
• Cosmetics : high moisturizing effect and use as a make-up remover.
• Dental hygiene : use as a mouthwash (bacteria that cause cavities and other pathologies only proliferate in acidic environments).

Each filter has a duration of 400 liters . When filtering more than this amount it is advisable to replace it. It is advisable to write down the start date and, according to your daily consumption, proceed with the change. The pH and antioxidant capacity last much longer, but the purifying effect (elimination of chlorine, heavy metals …) is what is first depleted due to the saturation of the coconut charcoal.

In any case that does not exceed its consumption of 6 months for hygiene reasons.

No. If we talk about antioxidation, the most important characteristic is its bioavailability . This means that percentage of this property is assimilated by the human body.

All the systems that we have analyzed barely reach 10% of their effectiveness. Alkanatur has the patented cam system (maintained antioxidant capacity) whose bioavailability reaches 77.7% (demonstrated with studies carried out at the University of Vigo)

Hydrogen water makes water acidic, on the contrary alkaline water makes it alkaline. The antioxidant capacity is common in both, in any case it will depend on their bioavailability capacity. According to most experts, diseases develop in acidic environments, with little oxygen (hypoxia) and with many free radicals. Hydrogenated water only fights free radicals. The ionized alkaline water Alkanatur, fight all of them.

The alkalizing drop system adds minerals to the water. People with health problems should take precautions, as this system adds sodium , a mineral contraindicated in many pathologies. The antioxidant capacity compared to Alkanatur water is very weak .

Yes it’s normal. When activating the filter it is normal sometimes for particles to appear in the water. These particles are specks of activated coconut carbon, 100% natural. These specks will stop appearing after multiple leaks.

Most of the waters in chile have an excess of calcium, our filter removes part of this calcium, adds magnesium and leaves the potassium present in the water, making these 3 alkaline minerals essential for our health to be in bioavailable and ionized form for their correct assimilation. This means that the walls of the jar can be opaque. Filling the jug with water, hot if possible, to where the calcium remains are found, and adding a few drops of white vinegar or lemon, these residues are eliminated in just one hour.
